Questions About Blepharoplasty

What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is another name for cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is performed to rejuvenate the eye area, targeting signs of aging in both the upper and lower eyelids. That can include:
- Puffy eyelids
- Droopy lower eyelids
- Bags
- Wrinkles, sagging skin, folds
We customize each blepharoplasty to suit the needs of each patient. You’ll discuss your options with your provider to determine what a blepharoplasty can do for you.

What is Recovery From Blepharoplasty Like?
Most people can return to work in a few days, but if you want to conceal that you had surgery, you might have to take a week or more off from work to wait until the swelling goes down. Some patients experience temporary dryness after their surgery, which is treated easily with eye drops. In some cases, the swelling and bruising may persist for a week to ten days. If you wear contacts, you will not be able to put them in for about two to three weeks.
